Points: 1st 10 · 2nd 7 · 3rd 5 · 4th 3 · 5th 2 · other finishers 1. Only scheduled season races count.
Young Bird Management
Rear youngsters separately from the race team. Use supplies from the Shop here. Nutrition, health, education and PMV status all contribute to a youngster becoming ready for the Racing Loft.
Permanent vaccination record
PMV is recorded once against each youngster and remains on its permanent bird record. Vaccination is separate from daily feed, grit and supplements.
Train the Young Bird team
Manage the youngsters as one team, as you would in the loft. Every fit bird old enough for the selected distance goes; younger or unfit birds stay home. Each participating youngster still gains its own experience and fatigue.
Young Bird Planner
This is separate from the Racing Loft planner. Choose youngster feed, ration and optional health support for each day.
Loft Supplies & Upgrades
One place for everything you buy. Stock your Racing, Young Bird and Breeding lofts, then use those supplies in the relevant management planner.
Nutrition & specialist supplies
20 kg sacks. Effects are applied through your feeding programme — owning stock alone gives no bonus.
Young Bird supplies
20 kg sacks. Buying feed adds it to Young Bird stock; benefits only apply when used through the planner.
Mineral support for developing youngsters.
Probiotic and vitamin support for the Young Bird Planner.
PMV vaccination is applied to an individual youngster from Young Bird Management so its permanent vaccination status is recorded correctly.
Breeding supplies
Everything used by the Breeding Daily Planner is bought here. Good management can support condition but never guarantees a better youngster.
All loft health supplies
Racing grit, minerals and supplements are available under Racing → Grit & Minerals / Supplements. Young Bird minerals, probiotics and vitamins are under Young Birds.
PMV vaccination remains in Young Bird Management because it is applied to a specific pigeon rather than held as general stock.

Money summary
Transaction history
Credits
A separate premium currency with a permanent transaction record. V4.1.1 connects Stripe Sandbox Checkout for controlled test payments. No real money is taken and purchased Credits are not awarded yet.
Credit packages
Test Checkout only. Stripe Sandbox uses test cards and no real money. V4.1.1 records verified payment confirmation but deliberately awards 0 purchased Credits until fulfilment is enabled in a later tested release.
Convert Credits
Credit conversion is active. Choose an amount below. Conversions are permanent and recorded in both transaction histories. Game money can never convert back to Credits or real cash.
What Credits won't buy
Money can buy a champion. It can't guarantee one.
You may be able to buy the best pigeon in the game — but you could just as easily lose it in a race.
Every pigeon also carries hidden genetic traits. An outstanding champion can produce an exceptional youngster… or a very ordinary one. Likewise, an average-looking pairing might occasionally produce something special.
The apple doesn't always fall close to the tree.
Credits can give you more financial options, but they can never guarantee great genetics, successful breeding, race victories, championships, or that a pigeon will return home.
Sporting rewards
Credits will not be purchase-only. Successful racing can earn small Credit rewards too, so members can build a balance through sporting achievement.
Federation podium rewards are active: 1st, 2nd and 3rd are awarded automatically when the official Federation result closes, with every reward recorded permanently in Credit transaction history. Young Bird and Loft League bonus rewards remain provisional and are not yet awarded automatically.
Credit transaction history
Buy & sell pigeons
Every pigeon keeps its permanent ring, pedigree and career when ownership changes.
Build your breeding team
Game-owned pigeons give new lofts a route into breeding while the member marketplace grows. Every bird is a unique individual with a permanent ring. Once sold, that exact pigeon never returns to Foundation Stock.
List one of your pigeons
Only active pigeons can be listed. Listed birds are kept out of racing and training until sold or cancelled.

Breed your next generation
Pair an adult cock and hen. Genetics from both parents influence the youngster’s ability, potential, traits and appearance.
Pair unpaired breeders
Choose a cock and hen to compare the pairing before you start the cycle.
Pairing happens only here in the Breeding Loft. Both birds must already be unpaired adult breeders. An active nest cannot be broken; after the cycle is complete you can keep the pair together, breed again, or unpair them to make different pairs.
Breeding rules
Established pairs
Pairs stay together after a youngster is collected until you choose Unpair. Active nests are protected from being broken.
Unpaired breeding birds
Adult birds held in the Breeding Loft but not currently in an active pair. Open a pigeon profile or move an eligible unpaired bird directly back to a Racing team.

AI Fancier Management
Disabled until you explicitly enable it. Active AI members will enter eligible birds into their own Wednesday and Saturday races during the entry window. Paused AI never enter. This spends normal game money; keep disabled while testing.
Read-only check before creating or activating AI across all clubs. This does not enter races, spend money or create accounts.
Read-only check of AI federation membership, automatic activities and Credits safeguards. No accounts or transactions are changed.
Activate or pause every existing AI fancier at once. Activation starts the existing enabled routines, so test carefully. This does not create new fanciers or bypass disabled race/supplies switches.
Create up to five paused virtual fanciers per club. Each receives the standard 20 birds and £10,000 game balance. No AI racing, breeding, trading or spending is activated by this screen.
Read-only view of breeding projects, due youngsters and Young Bird Loft capacity. Collection and training are not automated yet.
Select an AI fancier ID from the roster to inspect its loft supplies and breeding readiness.
Enable one tested AI fancier at a time. The server checks hourly and applies no more than one seven-day feeding programme. Breeding, training, racing and trading are not automated.
Choose an AI ID above, load eligible adult pigeons, then authorise one £25 breeding pair. Both birds move to the Breeding Loft. No automatic pairing.
Preview one activated AI fancier's eligible birds and entry fee before submitting. Wednesday and Saturday races are separate. Automatic race entries remain off unless explicitly enabled on the server.
Review eligible pigeons and current listings for the selected AI fancier. Listing or purchasing requires separate confirmation; no unattended marketplace trading is enabled.
Read-only totals across all AI clubs. Loft upgrades require separate Owner approval and use normal game prices, with a £500 operating reserve.
Preview existing AI counts, including Sleaford and Lincoln. Creates only missing accounts in small batches. All new fanciers start paused with 20 birds and £10,000. Creation is permanent in the shared database.

Your recent reports
Run the loft, not just the race team
Your first goal is to prepare for racing while starting the next generation. Pigeon Racing Online rewards decisions made across days, seasons and generations.
Race this season. Breed for the next.
Your racing team will change. Birds can be lost, retired, sold or selected for breeding, so replacement youngsters are part of normal loft management. Start learning your racers now, but establish a breeding plan early enough to rear and educate the team that follows them.
Understand your three lofts
Racing Loft holds the current race team. Young Bird Loft is where youngsters develop, learn and train. Breeding Loft holds the pairs responsible for producing future generations.
Meet the Racing Team
Open a pigeon to see its permanent ring, age, health, form, fatigue, racing qualities, pedigree and career. Raw ability is only part of the story — preparation determines what condition reaches race day.
Stock the loft
Use the Shop for feed, grit, minerals, health products and loft upgrades. The planners use stock you already own, keeping purchasing separate from daily management.
Plan the racing week
Use the Racing Loft Daily Planner for normal team preparation. Feed, activity, fatigue and recovery interact, so harder work is not automatically better work.
Train — then recover
Normal preparation belongs in the planner. Extra Training is there when you deliberately want additional road work. Watch fatigue and give pigeons time to recover before asking for another effort.
Enter and follow the race
Check distance, conditions and the entry deadline in Racing. Official results become permanent history and feed into Rankings, careers and the decisions you make about each pigeon.
Build for next season
Do not wait until the race team is depleted. Select suitable adults for the Breeding Loft and start producing replacements. Youngsters need time to rear, develop, loft fly, road train and complete their health requirements before joining the adult team.
Develop the Young Bird Team
Young birds are managed separately from racers. Feed for development, maintain health, loft fly as a group, introduce road training progressively and complete PMV vaccination before graduation.
Manage money & the market
Game money pays for the practical running of the loft. Use Finances to understand expenditure and Marketplace to trade unique pigeons whose permanent rings and histories follow them between owners.
Follow the wider competition
Rankings tracks the season and league. Community is where you follow race activity, notices and other lofts. Your own loft decisions sit inside a persistent online racing world.
Three principles to remember
1. Preparation and recovery matter as much as raw ability. 2. Breeding replacements is part of maintaining a competitive loft. 3. Every pigeon has one permanent identity and can contribute to your story as a racer, breeder or ancestor.
Pigeon management varies between real fanciers. The game is inspired by real principles, while its numerical effects are part of the simulation rather than a claim that there is only one correct real-world method.

Understand the decisions behind the game
Learn what each system does, why it matters to loft management and how Pigeon Racing Online models it.
🏁 Racing Loft
Manage the adult race team through the Daily Planner. Feed, activity, health, form, fatigue and recovery combine to influence race readiness. Use Extra Training deliberately rather than treating more work as automatically better.
🐣 Young Birds
Youngsters develop separately from the adult racers. Their route includes appropriate feeding, health, loft flying, progressive road training and PMV vaccination before graduation to the Racing Loft.
🪺 Breeding & replacement
Breeding is a core part of maintaining the loft. Racing teams change through loss, retirement, sale and selection for breeding. Producing youngsters early gives you time to educate replacements for future seasons.
🛒 Shop & supplies
Purchase feed, grit, minerals, health products and loft upgrades centrally in the Shop. Daily planners are for using supplies and managing pigeons rather than purchasing stock.
🏆 Racing, seasons & Rankings
Enter eligible Racing Loft pigeons before the deadline. Official races run at liberation time and completed results become permanent history. Rankings tracks the calendar, league and competitive progress.
🕊️ Permanent pigeon identity
A pigeon keeps one permanent ring, pedigree, racing record and ownership history. Moving to breeding or changing owner does not erase earlier achievements; descendants remain connected across generations.
💷 Economy & Marketplace
Game money supports everyday loft operation. Marketplace transactions transfer unique individual pigeons — not disposable copies — while their identity and history remain intact.
ⓘ Real principle vs game effect
Real pigeon fanciers use different successful methods. Pigeon Racing Online is inspired by those management principles, but game values and effects form a strategy simulation rather than professional husbandry instructions.

Open the Getting Started guide for a ten-step path through your first loft, including why you should begin thinking about breeding before the current race team needs replacing.
